Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

Chapter 232 Join in the fun

As the simulated shooting system was activated, the training room was instantly enveloped by a tense and focused atmosphere.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the only sound that could be heard was the crisp sound of the target falling when it was hit.

And the system's constantly updated score prompts, together they weave into a passionate training symphony.

Liu Xu's figure shuttled around the training room, and every movement was precise and powerful.

Whether he was quickly adjusting his position or staring with bated breath, he revealed his endless love and high-intensity concentration on the skill of shooting.

Sweat fell like drizzle, soaking his clothes, but it failed to interrupt his determination and persistence in shooting training.

He seemed to be one with the gun in his hand, and every pull of the trigger was a brave challenge to his own limits.

When the afterglow of the setting sun quietly shone through the window and fell on every corner of the training room, Liu Xu suddenly realized that time had quietly come to evening.

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, ending this afternoon's hard training.

Although his spirit seemed a little exhausted from the long hours of focused shooting, his heart was filled with an indescribable sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.

Because he knows that every training session is a transcendence of his own abilities, and every challenge is laying a solid foundation for him to become a better shooter.

The strength of the flesh may have its limits, but thermal weapons can give him unlimited possibilities by constantly improving the accuracy of shooting and reaction speed.

He believed that one day in the future, this would become a powerful weapon that would allow him to save his life while delivering a fatal blow to his enemy.

Walking out of the training room, Liu Xu happened to meet the gym owner, Macon, who was on patrol.

Mason's eyes keenly caught the satisfaction and confidence on Liu Xu's face. He smiled and nodded, with approval in his eyes.

The two exchanged a few brief words, and then, Mason took the initiative to invite Liu Xu to have dinner together, on the grounds that he must reward himself after hard training.

However, Liu Xu still wanted to find out more about the other party's family background, so he did not hesitate or refuse this sudden invitation.

I gladly accepted Mason's kindness and agreed with him on the time and place to meet at the restaurant.

Afterwards, Liu Xu turned around and strode towards the bathroom, washing off the sweat and fatigue on his body, so as to greet the upcoming dinner time with a more energetic state of mind.

The dinner was held at a high-end restaurant near Wan Chai in Central. In addition to Mason himself, his brother Mike was also invited to attend.

Under the soft light, Liu Xu's eyes moved between Mason and Mike.

Then, he broke into a broad smile, opened his broad arms, and greeted the two of them very warmly in an almost hugging manner.

"Mr. Mike, I have already made arrangements for what I promised you this afternoon. Once I get any definite news, I promise to contact you as soon as possible. No ambiguity."

Liu Xu's words made Mike smile more sincerely. He expressed his gratitude sincerely, "Thank you so much, Mr. Liu."

After that, he slowly took out a simple yet high-end business card from his shirt pocket and handed it to Liu Xu:

"This is my business card. It has my personal phone number and office number printed on it. I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Liu, for the time being."

Liu Xu waved his hand, said "no trouble" while reaching out to take the business card handed to him, and put it into his pocket with a serious face.

This action made Mike's mouth curl up slightly. Although Liu Xu was a gangster and a key target of the police, he still felt respected in his heart.

At the dinner table, the three of them had a great conversation, and the topic revolved around their common hobby of shooting.

They shared their shooting experiences and profound insights. The whole atmosphere was harmonious and cordial, as if time had slowed down at this moment.

The dinner ended successfully with laughter and joy. Liu Xu, feeling a little tipsy but with a lot of gains, said goodbye to Mike and Mason reluctantly.

He personally escorted the two people to the car, and only after the other party's car was out of sight did he rub his slightly tired cheeks vigorously and put away the slightly stiff smile on his face.

His eyes instantly regained their former clarity and sharpness.

Then, he took big strides and walked towards the Polonaise which was parked quietly not far away, and met up with the Tianyang brothers who had been waiting in the car.

Looking at the happy expressions on their faces, Liu Xu couldn't help but pat his forehead and sighed half-jokingly and half-seriously;

"Oh, I should have brought you two along, so you could experience for yourself how tedious those complicated courtesies at the dinner table are. It would save you from being bored."

Tian Yangsheng and Tian Yangyi looked miserable when they heard this. Especially Tian Yangyi, he couldn't help scratching his head and said in a pleading tone:

"Brother Xu, there's no need! We're not bored at all, and we're quite busy."

Liu Xu chuckled, his eyes flickering with a hint of teasing: "Busy? Busy finishing your meal, and then waiting for me in the car with a comfortable look on your face?"

Tian Yangsheng chuckled awkwardly and explained hastily: "That's not the case, Brother Xu, we actually walked around the area first to ensure the safety of the surrounding environment..."

"Great!" Liu Xu leaned forward slightly, with a hint of teasing and ridicule in his tone.

"You guys walked around first, took a walk to digest the food after dinner, and then waited for me in the car with a relaxed look on your face, right?"

Seeing that the Tianyang brothers' faces were gradually turning red and they seemed to want to continue explaining, Liu Xu waved his hand and interrupted them:

"Alright, alright, I'm just teasing you. I know you guys are going to check nearby vehicles to make sure there are no hidden dangers. Let's go back!"

Tian Yang and the other two heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this. They were used to going through wind and rain, and they were not good at verbal confrontation.

Tian Yangyi glanced through the rearview mirror and saw that the boss Liu Xu had begun to close his eyes and calm down. He gently started the car and drove to the next predetermined destination.

The night is as dark as ink, gradually fading away in the dimming lights and blending into the stretched night sky.

In his heart, Liu Xu savored this profound analysis of Mike's character:

"Mike is a man who is greedy for money but does not lose his rationality. His greed always goes hand in hand with his clear mind. He only takes what is within his means and does not covet what is not his."

"Although Mike received a 10 million Hong Kong dollar commission from him, Liu Xu knew clearly that if Mike really needed help, he would not only not help, but would also completely cut off ties with him."

"Trying to build a solid relationship with someone like Mike by relying solely on money transactions is undoubtedly futile."

"Only through mutual help and mutual favors, and by subtly changing the other person's view of him, can the bond between them be gradually deepened and made stronger."

"Therefore, if Scorpion Tail can successfully complete the task he assigned this time, then in order to repay this favor, Mike will take the initiative to ask if there is anything he can help with."

This style of behavior is exactly the tradition that the ancient Western nobles have passed down from generation to generation in order to consolidate their rule. It has been beautified and passed down as the so-called "chivalry".

Liu Xu's thoughts flowed slowly in his mind like a trickle of water.

Suddenly, noticing the difference in the car's speed, he slowly opened his eyes.
